1' CONSTITUTION OF THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION

The States Parties to this Constitution declare, in conformity with the Charter of the United Nations, that the following principles are basic to the

happiness, harmonious relations and security of all

peoples:

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well -being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard

of health is one of the fundamental rights of every

human being without distinction of race, religion,

political belief, economic or social condition.

The health of all peoples is fundamental to the

attainment of peace and security and is dependent upon the fullest co- operation of individuals and States.

The achievement of any State in the promotion and

protection of health is of value to all.

Unequal development in different countries in the

promotion of health and control of disease, especially

communicable disease, is a common danger.

1 The Constitution was adopted by the International

Health Conference held in New York from 19 June to

22 July 1946 and signed on 22 July 1946 by the repre-

sentatives of 61 States (Off. Rec. Wld 11th Org., 2, 100).

Amendments adopted by the Twentieth and Twenty -sixth

World Health Assemblies (resolutions WHA20.36 and

WHA26.37) came into force on 21 May 1975 and 3 February

1977 respectively, and are incorporated in the present

text.

Healthy development of the child is of basic

importance; the ability to live harmoniously in a

changing total environment is essential to such

development.

improvement of the health of the people.

Governments have a responsibility for the health

of their peoples which can be fulfilled only by the

provision of adequate health and social measures.

ACCEPTING THESE PRINCIPLES, and for the purpose

of co- operation among themselves and with others to

promote and protect the health of all peoples, the

Contracting Parties agree to the present Constitution and hereby establish the World Health Organization as a

specialized agency within the terms of Article 57 of

the Charter of the United Nations.

CHAPTER I - OBJECTIVE

Article 1

The objective of the World Health Organization (hereinafter called the Organization) shall be the

attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health.
